Newcastle United: Who are some of the contenders to be Steve Bruce's successor?

It's official. Newcastle United are hunting for a new manager.

In what has to be one of the most inevitable partings of the Premier League era, Steve Bruce lasted just 13 days after the Saudi Arabian-backed £305m takeover of the club.

With the club 19th in the table and without a win after seven games this season, fans had continued to call for Bruce's head.

But who might replace him?

Financier Amanda Staveley, who fronted the consortium, has the new owners are making a "long-term investment" to ensure Newcastle are "regularly competing for major trophies".
